Painting kitchen cabinets

Posted on May 12th, 2009 by louise

I’v never had so much fun playing in the paint bucket as I did with Kathy Van Gogh of the Van Gogh School of Art in Richmond, B.C www.http://fakeit.ca

 Kathy is so talented and fun to train with, Van gogh Schoool of art is right next door to the Benjamin Moore Decorating Centre in Ricmond which just made my lessons in paint and painting so much more valuable.

Like a great student I showed up with my sample doors as instructed primed and ready to go  for my Personal one on one lessons in painting kitchen cabinets. (you can buy used doors at most new / used lumber stores around the lower mainland. If you are  painting your own kitchen cabinets you could bring those door fronts along with you.  Having previously painted cabinets  via trial n error i’d never actually taken a course so when I discovered Van Gogh School of art was offering private lessons I jumped right in.

I had four door fronts in total  1st one was a melamium board with a wood trim on the bottom

I find these doors exist in many homes I go to for my Home Staging and Home Redesign Consultations.  If a home owner is moving I strongly suggest some esthetic improvements such as cabinet Door front refurbishing such as this one.  I decided to paint this door from in Benjamin Moore Pearl Finish Collection paints “Bittersweet Chocolate” sounds so good I could eat it..  I topped it off with a Purple / Black Glaze ! Yes along with a golden copper metalic glaze and it turned out just amazing, seeing is believing.. I was Thrilled with the outcome
